I also have the "SUNON EF40101B1-1Q08C-S99" 4 pin case fan on my dahua SMD NVR. why did you use "NF-A4x10 FLX" and not "NF-A4x10 PWM"? NF-A4x10 FLX (3 pin) https://www.amazon.com.au/Noctua-Cooling-Blades-Bearing-NF-A4x10/dp/B009NQLT0M NF-A4x10 PWM (4 pin)...

thanks so much Mark!!! i feel like crying happy tears! been banging my head trying to get it to work!

ahhh so the IP address is camera IP not NVR IP?

thanks for reply mate. Which channel do I choose? which protocol?

Hello everyone. I want to be able to see my cameras from my doorbell monitor. I have the following devices: 3 doorbell devices. 2 are display monitors. 1 is the doorbell camera. dahua NVR5216-16P-I/L. And 8 dahua cameras connected to it. All devices are connected to central router with fixes...

@wittaj so instead of relying on facial recognition, its better to just get SMD that just does human detection. NVR would be cheaper. Which 8 camera one you recommend?

@wittaj, so you mean dahua cameras bought from andy are better due to better firmware and support? the camera and NVR internals are fully dahua engineered yea? @Azman it is not for property that will be leased out. It's a share house (plus family living in another flat) where me the landlord...

hmm that makes me think. Why would Dahua only give better firmwares to just Andy and not apply it to their whole customer base? Why would they favour Andy's customers over their own? My guess is that those better firmwares are not from Dahua themselves, but another third part developer who has...

hmm i seee. Are the empiretech NVR actually Dahua ones? or is it different?

1. the entrance cams (mount at door) will be about 2.1 meters high from ground. Is that too high for facial recognition (FR)? 2. https://www.amazon.com/EmpireTech-16Channel-Network-Recorder-NVR5216-16P-4KS2E/dp/B07BKV7Z97/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 is that a good FR NVR? 3. can the...

49225 PTZ also needs separate power supply... Now my brains hurting haha Ok so I've decided the following. IPC-T5442T-ZE - for the 2 cameras at the front of the house. 2 of them will be used each side of the house. 2 of them to cover big backyard. With these varifocal ones I can adjust...

ah I see. So varifocal cant change focal length based on human detection. good point that 49225 starts at 4.8mm! that is too zoomed in for a door entry camera. I was thinking to use PTZ as entry camera + tracking. Guess that's out of the picture now. Looking at my house picture from post 9...

wittaj, looney2ns, sebastiantombs PTZ cameras look interesting. And looking at that video, it seems easy to setup for switching between 3 set locations and then following if target enters or leaves detection areas. Doesn't look that hard to configure. And that is the case i'd use it for. eg...

Can varifocal cameras change focal length smoothly from say 2.8mm to 6mm? by 1mm increments? or its step based like 2.8mm, 3.6mm etc And can varifocal change from say 3.6mm to 2.8mm as the person detected gets closer to camera? or is that only for PTZ?

Thanks for reply wittaj. The cams are just for residential property. I only ever really need to be concerned about 4 meters from camera out to yard. So from what you said, I'd say 2.8mm would do the job mostly? So for entrance cameras I can do 2.8mm since distance is so close, might as well...

hi thanks for the reply guys. So PTZ is a pain to setup and wont work that well? But wittaj said should get PTZ? https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/recommend-me-a-dahua-please.55098/post-538798 so you guys recommend several 5442 fixed lens 2.8mm or 3.6mm and call it a day? front door cameras...

thanks for that sebastian. please see picture. I blocked out some bits to remain anonymous. initially i was going to just put fixed lense everywhere but was told its not the best idea. Below is what i've decided. let me know what you guys think. 5 cams in the front. I've already run the...

hey everyone thanks for the help! i did some researching about focal length, sensor size, angle of view, etc. I understand now what you guys mean. Do you guys have some night time snapshot/video examples of the 5442 camera with 1/1.8" sensor, 4MP compared with a 1/2.8" sensor with 6MP/8MP? I...

thanks for that. I watched some youtube videos on sensors and yea 1/1.8" seems much better. Thing is though, it is mostly the night shots that would be significantly better? Do you have picture or video comparison between 1/1.8" and a smaller sensor? I just want to see if its worth it to go...

thanks for the reply mat200 so the sensor size would mostly just help for night vision yes? can you find that good sized 4 mp one from here? https://www.securitywholesalers.com.au/product-category/dahua-cctv/dahua-eyeball-cameras/ i thought having IR lights help alot with night vision. I dont...

Hi guys, I'll try and keep this post simple. I'm after a reliable remote viewing camera system for my rental property. Requirements: 8 camera system no subscription for cloud storage. Want local storage. has smart phone app for remote live/history view. App must be reliable and fast. Motion...
